Recently a big bunch of absolutely clueless and self-entitled white westerners went to Egypt in order to walk from there to Gaza in what they called "Global March to Gaza", as some kind of show of support and aid, or something.
To their big surprise they found out that the Egyptian government was having none of it. They were stopped at the border between Egypt and Gaza (which, perhaps ironically from an American perspective, has an enormous impassable border wall), their passports were confiscated, and (at least as of writing this blog post) they are all being deported from Egypt back to their own countries.
Turns out you don't just walk through that border as if it were nothing. Also turns out that Egypt is not some kind of liberal western country where people can move in and out however they want, and turns out that they have no qualms about deporting people from the country (oh, the irony.)
It also turns out that Egypt has had its history with Gaza and the Palestinians. A quite ugly history. And that's why there's a huge impassable border wall, and the border is tightly closed. Nobody in or out.
These clueless and oblivious white westerners did zero research and just assumed that Egypt was a free liberal country with no border restrictions, like their own countries. Now they are shocked and distraught that not only were they stopped from crossing the border, but they are in fact being deported from the country!
It's funny to watch the video clips of them pleading with the soldiers at the borders, whining like little children who aren't getting the candy that they want.
These white leftists are utterly pathetic. I feel second-hand embarrassment.
